“Hillary Clinton’s message of breaking down barriers that block Americans from reaching their full potential is resonating, particularly with educators who have committed their lives to doing just that for students. For any candidate vying to be president of the United States, the road to the White House goes through the battleground states of Florida, North Carolina and Ohio. Hillary’s decisive wins tonight also send a clear message to Americans that she is the only candidate who can go toe-to-toe against the politics of fear, hate and division coming from the likes of Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. Hillary is the leader America needs now to take on the complex issues we face every day.

“NEA’s Educators for Hillary program continues to play a defining role in the grassroots effort that has pushed Hillary to widen her now impenetrable lead among pledged delegates in the Democratic presidential primary. In addition to phone-banking and organizing supporters on behalf of the Hillary for America campaign, NEA’s program also has been busy with its robust, targeted and strategic communications and field operations, which have included digital ads, and other traditional get-out-the-vote operations. Our members are excited about Hillary’s plans that will continue to grow the U.S. economy and raise incomes for all Americans. NEA members are with her all the way.”

The National Education Association is the nation’s largest professional employee organization, representing more than 3 million elementary and secondary teachers, higher education faculty, education support professionals, school administrators, retired educators and students preparing to become teachers.
